Explore the Historic Old Post Office Pavilion and Clock Tower in Washington DC
The Old Post Office Pavilion, built from 1982 to 1899, is a 10-story Romanesque Revival-style building, located in the heart of Washington, DC, between the White House and the U. S. Capitol Building. This historic landmark is prominently located near many of the city’s hotels, museums, national monuments, and other attractions. Notably, the property was restored and reopened as a luxury hotel in late 2016. It stands out as the second-tallest structure in the nation’s capital, following the Washington Monument, and was recognized in the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. The building’s glass-enclosed elevator on the clock tower’s south side provides visitors access to the stunning observation deck.
